Fun Car with Speed & Reliability
Jackbird60, 08/07/2008
1991 Dodge Shadow ES Turbo 2dr Convertible
This is my second 1991 ES Convt Turbo. I can't tell you how thrilled I was to find another. Very, very hard to find. This one had only 80K (Carfax certified) The Paint was very good except the trunk area. Not one ding on the car. The top is in VGC and the interior looks great. The car runs and drives excellent and everything works except A/C which was converted to 134a & just needs … a compressor. Driving impression: The Turbo really sends this car flying and yet the engine at normal operating speeds is quite quiet & smooth, even at a stop light. This is the best car experience for $2,000 you can get. VG Reliability. It will blow the doors of any 90's Miata, etc.

1991 Dodge Shadow ES Turbo 2dr Convertible
This is a 2.5 turbo automatic convertible. It takes turns like it's on rails. It has power off the line and on the highway. It really handle well, and idle smoothly. These 2.5 liter engines are just about bulletproof. Automatic shifting is smooth. Just love the car. Seats are real comfortable. Just a great car and cheap to maintain. The most fun you can have driving and very dependable. …

Best car for family
Stone, 05/20/2002
1991 Dodge Shadow America 4dr Hatchback
My 91 shadow american is the best car
for a family. Its not made to 'get up
and go' like a sports car but a family
thats looking for a reliable car that
goes and goes, this is it. The only
thing replaced in this car was the fuel
pump. Everything else has been perfect.
My car doesnt have power windows,
cruise and all that. What it does have
is quality and dependablity. … Thats what
makes it a great car. Two car seats in
back fit fine. The kids enjoy riding in
our car.
